Digital radiographs are one of the newest X-ray techniques around. With digital radiographs, film is replaced with a flat electronic pad or sensor. The X-rays hit the pad the same way they hit the film. But instead of developing the film in a dark room, the image is electronically sent directly to a computer where the image appears on the screen. The image can then be stored on the computer or printed out.

Benefits of use:
-Considerable reduction in radiation
-High resolution and sharpness giving the ability to zoom in on problem areas without losing clarity.
-Adjustments like contrast and brightness further enhance diagnostic accuracy.
-Images are seen instantly
-Chemical disposal is eliminated
